Going to Todd Rundgren at Birchmere? 10/28/14 ~The A,B,Cs

Awaken At 10 AM . Do not feel guilty for not doing Any writing today! You couldn’t sleep until 3 am Anyway and Todd is playing tonight! Allright!!!

Before going downstairs Be sure to Bring your fav glasses. You are going to need those for the Birchmere! But first you must sign on faceBook and spend all morning Babbling on … and on… and on.. about Being there. Being ruthless about un-friended-ing those who Bitch Because they have Been hearing about this Big gig so many times Before. And how great Ringo and Todd and Co had Been at Wolf Trap And Todd had Been in London doing AWATS and have Become sick and tired of your Bragging and Bringing up the subject AGAIN . Begone ya Bastards. Ba wa hahaha! Block away!

Can no longer contain your excitement? ( Compared to earlier when you were Calm and under Control) Unbox new Camera. Remember to be Cautious and put extra fully Charged batteries in Cute Clutch! you so Clever . you the Champ!

Dick around all Day until about 2:30 when you really must Dash to catch the 3:10 bus from North Dumflucks Md to South Dumflucks Va. on Damn public transport.( Stupid DMV) in order to get there by 5- 6 pm to get a semi-Decent seat . No problem! Dressed, Dyed , Drip Dried and all Dolled up! And already ready, right on time, to Depart!

Except where did you leave your glasses this time Eh? The worst thing about getting Elderly is when you don’t have your glasses on you cant Even see to Examine where they Even went ( that, and having to watch porn with only your glasses on) Unless if you can still rock The Erotic Executive , Every Once and Awhile. EYOW!

Fuck. found glasses. With Foot. Must un-Flatten them, Find lens, Fit it back in and Find twist tie to replace that tiny Fiddly little screw that always Falls out because the Frames mangled except now you want it out the Frigging thing wont budge until you Find one of those itty bitty little Frame screw drivers and its your lucky day but its not a Phillips head and you know you had some twist ties just last night by the Fridge but now they are completely Freaking gone and… Fortune frowns on you, for you miss 3:10 bus to…

Germantown Transit Center in Md! for Another fabulous trip to a Gig a Gagillion miles away , on our Godawful DC public transport! This time to Virginia, on the marvelous Metrorail. Take a few pics to try out brand new cam. Realize that all the fresh batteries you Got do you no Good if there is no Goddamn 2 GB picture card .Wait! Remember you still have old cam in bag, Thank Goodness ! Does it have big Gig card ? or is that Gone into laptop ? Got it? GREAT! Remind yourself you’re a Genius. Document entire journey for benefit of future Generations and humanity and to figure out what all those little button -thingys and mysterious settings are in the daylight so your not Going to have to jiggle with it during pitch dark Gig. See? What did I tell you? You’re a Genuine Genius, and Gorgeous as well. Who needs Google maps?

Hey , HOTSHOT. Haven’t remembered to Have your ticket printed out at Home, Have you? Hope you Have credit card you Had paid with. HAPPY DAY! Hell, Have a seat, if any left. Holy Crap, that was a close call. HAVE A DRINK. Or have a Whole lot of them!

Its Possible! It is found! The Ideal seat for ONE! With an Interesting couple of INTENSE TODD FANS and a guy from just down the Interstate In your town. Who probably Is not a Serial Killer. Who Immediately extends an Invite to accept a free ride home with him! INCREDIBLE! Its like a miracle. Unless. of course, Instead, you end up dead. Isn’t that those two kids from Buster Poindexter In August In the very next seats? Instantly they recognize you ! Interested In if you are going to Ian Hunter? Is their ANY doubt? Odds of Co-Incidence ? Almost Inconceivable! Ice cold tequila Sunrise In hand. Its all good.

Keep it down in the back, buddy! The lights are going down! AND COMING UP!

LOOK OUT! Here they come! From the very start Todd has you LYAO. The stories, the set list? what set list? the starting and stopping mid- song to start over again, two maybe three times. its completely loony. Todd has completely lost his mind with this show. And its one of the most amazing gigs ive ever seen. And I’ve seen lots.

More like being at a rehearsal than a show at some moments , then suddenly times when the sheer genius of these master musicians professionalism and experience just blows your mind. the music, madness , mirth , mayhem, mistakes, mysteries, magic, memories, moving you, body heart and soul.

Nothing in the world like anything I’ve ever seen before . Nobody else would have come up with it . Nobody could do it better.

Only Todd could do That, the way he did. There’s Only One Todd.

Pics are pretty PFFFFT. Just practicing really. Pretty awful. Discover after first few Pics new cam takes worse Photos of gigs than old one. I’m no Photographer, but I am pleased I seem to be getting better, it isn’t possible to be worse . It’s just Point and shoot. You should see the first few tries! Pathetic

VERY COOL presentment Sherry.I wish I knew 1/10th of what you know about all this 21st century jazz. If only I still lived in Germantown and you wouldn’t mind my company (and you shouldn’t) you wouldn’t have to endure the transportation blues. The Highway Star would show you the way and we would rock like rockers do. I see Kasim and Jesse are still at Todd’s side. I guess Prairie Prince was behind the kit. Kasim is now with BŐC, must be his 50th band…glad you had a good time but always think twice and then think thrice about taking a ride with someone you don’t know. I’ll end this the way that Todd ends his shows….”Shining still, to give us the will, bright as the day, to show us the way, somehow, someday”…….TR

Mark in three hours it took me to get to Virginia I remembered hitching like we did to all the gigs we went backstage at as teenagers was a lot less trouble. LOL Aid im sure ive learned a thing or two since then! I fear for the fool who tries to give me any trouble! he was a very nice guy, I sat next to him all night , I trusted my gut and he couldn’t have been nicer. don’t worry about me. I generally know what im doing . about the Big Stuff . but don’t ask me to try to text or sort out the remote or the thermostat or anything like that LOL. im going to do a little part two on this . about the gig I saw Todd do in London and the Ringo show. prob tomorrow! Im beat today. keep an eye out
